Happy New Year 2026, & 2025 Seasons' Greetings & Holiday Salutations


Hi Scott,
Happy New Year 2026!
Got your text message as well - but prefer 1-1 emails as you know :-)

Once AI can discern fact from fiction, the world will be very close to realizing your wonderful vision.
Free educational materials on all the many thousands of languages of the world!
Unfortunately today's AI suffers from 3 E's problems - energy, errors, and ethics.

Wishing you a creative and productive 2026 new year!

I am retired and enjoying mostly family fun projects, plus mentoring student teams on Wednesdays. 

Thanks, -Jim

Mount Tamalpais: Happy New Year 2026, & 2025 Seasons' Greetings & Holiday Salutations

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/01/mount-tamalpais.html

you with many Universitians and friends.

How best with AI and ML to develop all of these wiki subjects - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - and in all 7159 living langugages (still in 2026 per the Ethnologue) ... and especially to build flourishing warm engaging friendly friends' communities of people online around these subjects potentially. By communities, I mean further - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/communities ... something I've been thinking about since high school in the 1970s, and regarding (1960s and '70s') hippies' responses, for example, to the alienation of the 2 industrial revolutions, and modernity too ... 

Thanks, 
Scott

Mount Tamalpais: Happy New Year 2026 & 2025 Seasons' Greetings & Holiday Salutations

Xmas 2025 Scott MacLeod Chris Michaels Janie MacLeod Dec 24 Pittsburgh Pennsylvania


Dear friends, 

Happy New Year Happy New Year January 1, 2026, & 2025 Seasons' Greetings' Holiday Salutations.

Greetings from Mt Tamalpais in Marin county, just north of San Francisco, and near Mountain Theatre in an emerging virtual earth - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cushing+Memorial+Amphitheater/@37.9127055,-122.6087542,671m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x8085917266be1347:0x346a6c14802fa167!8m2!3d37.9127055!4d-122.6087542!16s%2Fm%2F0w339wv?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D. And here's "The Allman Brothers Band - Mountain Jam ( At Fillmore East, 1971 )" - https://youtu.be/w9ZubobGMLs (1971) - to help celebrate the New Year Happy New Year! Asked Gemini AI:

'Did The Grateful Dead or the Allman Brothers ever play at Mountain Theater on Mount Tamalpais in the 60s and 70s or 80s?'
Yes, and read on -
https://g.co/gemini/share/9d45e0816650. How to bring this all alive now in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForJamming, where we might all make music together, with musical instruments, or possibly singing with the Allman Brothers, for example, and from our homes ... and with an emerging real, real time internet?


It's been a great year for free-to-student's accrediting World University and School WUaS ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ ... building on MIT OCW in 7 languages (https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/) with Wikidata / Wikipedia in 342 languages, and planning to develop major online research universities in all 200 countries and wiki schools in all 7159 known living languages ~ envisioning and growth regarding blog posts too. World University and School WUaS is in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, having attended an in-person 'Grow with Google' meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at Google Headquarters in Bakery Square on 7/30/24. And WUaS seeks to code for speakers of all 7159 known living languages, and from there all 7.9 billion people, both to end poverty worldwide distributing Stanford Mi Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - to most of all these people, as well as to facilitate wiki free universal education and with free-to-students' degrees, and among many of the speakers of all 7159 living languages, in ~200 countries (per the Olympics) in WUaS world class universities.

World University and School and I have posted more than 365 blog posts this year again - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university - this year in my daily blog, most exploring ideas developing this global university, much planned in a #RealisticVirtualEarth #ForEverything - and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI: #WorldUniversityINSchool" updated March 2 205, in these regards - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306.

And Friendly-informed World University and School continues to be guided by open WUaS Weekly Business Meeting (conducted loosely in the MANNER of un-programmed Quakers, and Friendly Monthly Business Meeting) -

Seeking to move the WUaS Academic Medical Center and myself into a newly safe, vacant, with deed 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon California 94516, near Berkeley, soon - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon, having been in asylum in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts for about 2 1/2 years until returning to a safer SF Bay Area first departing on December 10, 2024 from PIttsburgh, PA, Penns' Woods.
